Ise was originally set to play Chie Satonaka in the live-action Persona 4 Arena stage play last December 2014, however, she had to drop out of the role because of “bad health”. However, as she has found out, her “bad health” was actually symptoms of her becoming pregnant, and just a month later, she got married. Fans were disappointed when she dropped out of the Persona 4 Arena stage play as she has already been revealed in costume as Chie. She was replaced by actress, Makoto Koichi for the role.
